Penumbral

Epilogue: Wide World, Black and White

Salokir, Aurora, Migoen, Alonne, Alimur and Alexander along Medusa's family helped rebuild Raito in a matter of weeks, with this show of faith most Scaleborns threw aside their blind hate of Humans and Demi-Humans as these have sacrificed their wellbeing to protect them, most Seles turned a new page as they had no true qualms, Madah was cast aside for going against Salokir's wishes.

The Eclipsions and Gaisgeachs travelled together for a few months giving Alimur the opportunity to document many more creatures from Luldnaw and Grimacreage, Alonne and Migoen returned to their home leaving Aurora and Alimur alone, as they returned to Heytral Aurora took note her belly grew larger, Alimur thought the queen was lying.

Before their first child was born they married again this time in a Human wedding, their rings were of Staiten and gold, they invited everyone to their wedding, Khim, Alexander, Salokir, Migoen, Alonne, Drodegan, Rosaria, Rathan, Hilma, Sevel, the Council members and Danlioden among other guests that they met on their travels, the party was held under the Ahomoskir so Jen could partake as well, Alimur held an eulogy for his fallen companions and dedicated several minutes to talking about how wonderful his wife was, as the wedding ended and the guests left a spirit approached as the newlyweds and their parents spoke.

George was elated for his daughter eliciting tears from his wife and child, the six talked until the night grew long, Alimur took a few minutes to step away and talk with his Telfan friend, he gave her the bestiary with a smile and she shed untouchable tears.

Under Rathan's rule the city of Wesche became a bustling metropolis second only to Hylsadrou and the compound capital of Luldnaw, Gristarkana, the Scaleborn funded a connecting rail of celeryusos between the Heytral capital and Wesche with the money from his own pockets.

Drodegan shined ever brighter as a paragon of smithing thanks to the discovery of Staiten and a method to shape it.

Tuinn Jinin became leader of the board of minds but continued to serve as a Council member.

Once Khim returned home she discovered her mother was pregnant and she was now a sister, the chimera devoted as much as possible to be by her mother's side as long as it didn't interfere with her duties as chieftain of Beastkin.

Migoen and Alonne opened a school of martial arts and spend the rest of their days training a new generation, occasionally they were visited by the large family of their son and daughter-in-law.

Rosaria returned to Raito and left her home in Wesche to her daughter, a green house with white fences, the Seles was accepted back into the fold of her family and soon enough she ushered a new age for the white Scales.

A year after Nemea's defeat Alexander resigned from his post and left it to Alimur in his stead as he had a son with Salokir to raise.

Danlioden, Tacuxaram it didn't matter what they called him he was content, his business of guild was largely successful and every city that had one was a mark of prosperity, his sister stood by his side as he wielded her soul, Nemea was content as well as they oftenly were visited by the Eclipsions and she was always happy to see that family grow, the bard and trapped soul together did their best to filter the flow to varying degrees of success.

Alimur commissioned a bird skull helm from Drodegan and took on the mantle of Ravenlord as a final honor to the fallen.

Aurora in all her light was gifted the name of Amaterasu by the Seles that once shunned her.

Mia Eclipsion was the first born of Alimur and Aurora, the girl held darkness and light in a perfect balance and grew to become a powerful warrior under guidance of all her family line, her flowing black hair put stark contrast to the glowing white scales covering her hands, legs and lower back from which a tail sprouted, her wings were boney white and dark streaks ran from them.

Mia was only the first of many children the Eclipsions had as personifications of darkness and light.

Kalige the Darkan raised flags from Luldnaw as she discovered Telfans abusing Druents to fuel their machinery, the Council kept it under wraps for some time but Alimur stepped in at Aurora's command they travelled towards the Telfan continent, Mia was brought along to learn more on how they dealt with trouble.
